After hours and hours of research I found the easiest way finally! Idk why so many people are complicated or don’t elaborate like you did! Thanks so much
So glad my video helped you out!
A lot of people have mentioned that a return hose could be beneficial this way when the pump isn’t in use and still running that the water is flowing back to the tank- but I’ve ran it this way for 4 years now with no issues.
My biggest advice is always make sure to keep the pump submerged under water when in use and don’t run the pump unless the bottom of the pump is covered this way you don’t burn the pump out. Also if you’re not using the water for an extended period of time be sure to turn the pump off/unplug it.
The coolest thing to me is that you get enough water pressure so that you technically don’t need a pressure washer. But you’re going to use more water more quickly. Any questions at all don’t hesitate to ask 👍🏻
@@PurcellsProDetail so I will be using a ryobi pressure washer. Is there anything additional connects I’ll need from the hose coming out of the submerged water to connect the other end into my pressure washer?
@@ZaydenJayy so on the top of the pump is a male end fitting which fits a garden hose. You can put a short hose, maybe 2-4 feet which can hook up straight to your pressure washer.
That is all you need. I use a ryobi as well!
Make sure to power on the pump first to prime the pressure washer and let all the air out of the pressure washer hose before turning the pressure washer on.
@@ZaydenJayy actually now that I think about it, you’ll need a short hose with 2 female ends. This way you can screw it on to the pump and then also screw it on to the pressure washer
@@PurcellsProDetail so besides the short hose you posted on in your bio and the submersible pump in your bio can you please provide us with a link to the last piece we need assuming we are all connecting to a ryobi pressure washer..
Looking to start mobile detailing,this is by far the most simple setup I seen, thinking of running it
Awesome I’m glad you found it useful. Very easy set up. There are other pumps out there with automatic shut off when not in use. But I’ve been using this one for a while no issues
This is honestly the exact setup I was looking for, you even have the generator I’m interested in.
Thanks! Yeah it’s a great simple set up. Works great, very reliable. I neglect that pump more than anything and it still works well years later.
Whats the generator?
@@WAHDEEDOWthe2 I believe he’s using a Honda 2200i
Perfect setup brother I don't see why some people have that 12v pump..I've recommended this to few guys i have mine on a plug with the remote on and off with the pressure washer the 2 outlet plug so when I turn the pump on the pressure washer comes on as well 💯💯👌🏽
Tha is for watching! I agree, to me this makes more sense and it’s really simple to set up. Also gives great water pressure.
I see a lot of guys with the small 12v pump attached to batteries and having to worry about them keeping a charge.
This set up has not let me down
Thanks for watching buddy 👍🏻
@@PurcellsProDetail yup best was plug to your generator and your good....keep up the good works brother and the good setup 💯
I'm running a Nissan Sentra SV with a little utility trailer 55gallon drum 2/3s full 3000w inverter use foam cannons and carry two buckets of pre ready detergents honestly brings pride to the lil 1.8cyl Nissan haha
Haha that’s awesome! Nothing wrong with that at all, sounds like you have a sweet set up for sure!
Thanks
Exactly what I need. Nice and simple thanks!!
No problem!
That a good idea to connect it to a pressure washer and i think you will have alots a pressure water
I feel like the sub pump is the best route to go.
Nice set up bro i been wanting to share mine with yall i have everything but i feel like i want more to add to my arsenal before i even post anything about my rig
Thanks man, and I don’t blame you! I didn’t even want to post mine but I’m like you know what, I bet it could help someone of their trying to set up their water tank. You should post yours man!
@@PurcellsProDetail i will soon after i get my compressor steamer and carpet extractor that all i need for my full blown set up
Perfect setup how many cars you wash whit the 60 gallon tank
Thank you
Wow! U just solved my problem
would it remain “pumping” to the power washer when the power washer is not being used or is it auto on and off. Or do you need to unplug it when you’re not using the power washer
It is continuously pumping. I know it is not ideal, but I have been using this set up for over 3 years with zero issues.
If you want something that has auto shut off- it’s definitely not a bad idea. There are some good ones on Amazon. But for me I’m going to keep running this pump until it dies haha. It’s given me zero issues. You could also route a second hose back to the top of the tank so it’s recirculating as an alternative
This is what I been looking for also..
Jus a regular water hose and tank.. but I don't have generator to plug in a pump.. what suggestions is there to use that's cheap I can buy???
If you don’t have a generator, I would just plug right into the customers power if you can. Most if not all customers don’t mind at all!
@@PurcellsProDetail Right. And I have done that at times. But I been kinda looking in here for ideas.and easy set ups .. simple and gets the job done.. Thanks for the reply
Hey man I bought everything you have but how do I plug those holes on the water tank?
Hey buddy, I would look at the specifications for the tank that you ordered and it should give you inlet or outlet dimensions for those holes. All you have to do is go to a hardware store like Home Depot and just find a plug that fits that specification
If using a gas pressure washer do you connect it to a y fitting so when ur not using pump it send water back to tank n not mess up anything?
You probably could. It wouldn’t hurt. I’ve never had any issues
Is this returnless style or will you burn out the pump by not having a return hose back to the tank?
No return at all. I’ve been using it for over 3 years and never a need for a return. If I’m going long periods of time without using it, I’ll shut the pump off/ disconnect it
You can make a return hose or what i did is i bought a remote outlet the one with 2 outlet on one plug 🔌 i plug my pressure washer and the pump on it.....so as I turn the pressure washer on the pump comes on too turn off the pressure washer pump turns off with just a remote hope this helps
@@cebasmb8250 what plug in do you have? Share link please.
Nice and simple setup 🙏🏾💯 what’s the size of the water tank you’re using?
Thank you much! Pretty sure it’s a 60 gallon
Thanks for showing this, would u say this water pump u have is it better than a non submersible pump?
I’m running a different set up now with a non submersible pump and this sub pump is way more simple and hassle free to be honest
Hi. Im new to mobile detailing. I will be working out of my suv. I was going to go with a 50gal water tank to connect to my sun joe SPX4001-PRO pressure washer. Do I need a pump? If so what kind? What fittings, valves and other things will I need to connect everything so it will run smooth.?
Hey buddy you don’t need much! All you need is a submersible pump like the one in my video! Links to everything is in the description!
There are other ways to go about setting up the tank and pump but this has worked well for me
No you don't need a pump..you need to pressurize your barrels and let the lid open up along with gravity feeding will work...I gravity feed a simoniz pressure washer but I'm gonna add a bolt on air valve to add some air to it before and during use with a little 12 volt inflator ..
If you are pressurizing your barrel leave lid closed and do calculations to usage and be on it ..if you use a compressor like some new to detailing do for various reasons an on-demand inflation would work to and would only need about 15psi to help the gravity feed..if you use a tire inflator you'd be best to when you show up add about 15psi to your 9/10s full container and after every few minutes of constant use you can turn it back on or even leave it on if the use matches to the inflation
@@tylermeek2800 thanks alot
How do you control the flow of the water ? I just ordered a pump and it flows lots of water but I don’t want to mess up my pressure washer lol
No control over the flow but you shouldn’t have to worry about messing up a pressure washer. More flow to the pressure washer the better
I recently got a 25g tank and will be getting a pump like this. You think I can do 2 cars with a 25g?
Thanks for watching! You might have trouble doing 2 cars with a 25 gal tank. If you use a pressure washer hooked up to it you might be able to do 2 cars because the pressure washer used less water than the hose alone
This is exactly what I was looking for. Question what did you use to cover those 2 holes on your tank left side ?
Awesome! Glad to help!
I went to Home Depot and found the plugs there. You can get pvc or brass fittings. When you buy your tank the specs should tell you what size those inlets /outlets are. I purchased my tank from detailing.com
You can also use the bottom plug/hole as an outlet for gravity fed to a hose or pressure washer. I’ve never done gravity fed but I hear it works well
Did you have a hose connected to the inlets and outlets for your pressure washer?
So I didn’t use a pressure washer often with this set up but I would just connect the hose coming from the top to my pressure washer and that’s all that’s really needed
@@PurcellsProDetailthank you 😊. I was confused and everyone makes videos but they don’t explain in depth tbh.
Is the pump better than gravity feeding?
Definitely you definitely don’t want to risk burning out or stressing out the pressure washer
Can you show a quick clip how it is with a pressure washer ?
I’ll try to get a clip when I get the chance. I’ve been making more alterations to the set up as of recent
What kind of pump? Where did you buy it from? Quarter of a horsepower 1/3 of a horsepower?
When you fill water , it doesn’t mess up the pump?
Nope the pump is designed to be submersed under water. All I do is open the top cap and fill the tank with a hose
Looking at this vid before I drill a hole in the 60 gal tank ahha , is this better than drilling a hole and getting fittings ?
@@LuisMartinez-et7yl I mean I didn’t have to drill any holes. I’m not sure what your tank set up is like but if you have an opening up top you should be able to run the pump out the top
@@PurcellsProDetail thank you 🙏🏻
What size pump did you use
I forget the size of that pump. I’ll have to check and get back to you.
Does the psi on the pressure washer that I use matter with this setup?
Nope does not matter what psi you use
@@PurcellsProDetail how about gpm?
I thought it was more complicated. I have everything but tank and generator
That’s great, you don’t need much. Sometimes the tank is the hardest thing to come by. But you can sometimes find tanks on Craigslist or Facebook for sale
@@PurcellsProDetail thanks for talking time respond.
Lol same. I will be getting this now. Do you need a piece for the hose coming out the tank to connect the other end to a pressure washer or the pressure washer hose?
Question I’m getting a 50 gal tank do you think that is enough for 3-4 cars a day?
With a pressure washer yes. I can wash 2 cars with this just with the hose alone. So by using a pressure washer you should be able to cut down the water use a lot. I’d say 3 for sure
How many cars can you wash with that tank?
With hose only at least 2. With a pressure washer you can do 3-4 as they use less gpm than a traditional hose
